Yisrael Beitenu leader Avigdor Lieberman’s personal bodyguard is a member of Israel’s Bedouin community, Fri’ad.
While the media continues to label Lieberman an “Arab hater”, interestingly, his chief bodyguard is a member of the Bedouin community. He has four bodyguards accompanying him everywhere, but the person who has the final say, the one closest to him is Fri’ad. Lieberman and MK Amir Katz are the only two in the parliament who are not ministers or deputy ministers, but nevertheless, were assigned round-the-clock security.
The members of Lieberman’s protection force, totaling eight agents, have all been certified in the Knesset security training and other anti-terror courses and are all quite capable of protecting a high profile public official.

Most Bedouin are among the half of Israeli Arab who clearly prefer to be Israeli citizens. In general, Arab countries are not friendly to minorities.
Lieberman is a religious bigot, not a racist.
